The PARAMEGA brand of antioxidants feature’s a breakthrough line of products formulated to enhance the stabilization of a wide range of petfood ingredients and formulations. PARAMEGA is uniquely effective in maintaining the oxidative stability of these diets formulated with challenging ingredients.

Natural Stabilization of Petfood Diets High in Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids

As the petfood market has moved more towards premium products there has been an increased emphasis on the use of novel ingredients that support health claims. One example of this is the inclusion of fats and oils from marine and plant sources. High in omega-3 & 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, these fats and oils are essential to maintaining good overall pet health. For example, highly unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids are important for normal physiologic function, cell membrane structure and cell function in pets. They are also known to support immune function and skin and coat health. Unfortunately, highly unsaturated ingredients are prone to rapid oxidation, making it challenging to include them in petfood diets and achieve shelf-life stability requirements.

Challenges of enriching petfood with omega-3 fatty acids:
